Trombay Thermal Power Station is a coal, gas and oil fired thermal power plant situated at Trombay near the city of Mumbai in Maharashtra. The power plant is sponsored by Tata Power.Trombay Power Station is a 1580 megawatt thermal plant in the state of Maharashtra. Among them, 750 Megawatt is coal fired, 650 Megawatt is Oil fired and 180 Megawatt is Gas Combined Cycle Power Plant.Trombay Thermal Power Station is commissioned in 1960s. The approved capacity of this thermal power plant is 1580 Megawatt. Also the installed capacity is 1580 Megawatt. The status of this thermal power plant is Operational. The source of coal for the production of power is from coal mines of Indonesia. In March of year 2007, Tata Power acquired a 30 percent stake in two coal mines owned by Bumi Resources and Arutmin of Indonesia.

The Oil Source is from Fuel Oil. The primary fuels used for the production of Thermal Plant were Coal for Thermal Power plant, Natural Gas for Gas Plant and Oil for Oil Plant. The type of thermal power station is Subcritical. The power plant is owned and operated by the Tata Power. The beneficiary state of this thermal power plant is Maharashtra and its neighbouring states. The unit size of this thermal power plant is 150 Megawatt (Unit 1 to Unit 4), 500 Megawatt x 2 units, 180 Megawatt x 1 unit, and 250 Megawatt x 1 unit. The first four units are decommissioned and the remaining four units are commissioned. So there are four units in Operation.

The Unit 1 to Unit 4 has a combined installation capacity of 150 Megawatt, which is using Oil as primary fuel. But those Units are now decommissioned. The Unit 5 is commissioned with an installed capacity of 500 Megawatt that is using Coal as Primary fuel. After that the Unit 6 is commissioned with an installed capacity of 500 Megawatt that is using Oil as primary fuel. The Unit 7 is commissioned with an installed capacity of 180 Megawatt that is using Gas as primary fuel. The Unit 8 is commissioned with an installed capacity of 250 Megawatt that is using Coal as primary fuel. Due to the high price of Oil, the company is seeking a conversion from Oil to coal in Unit 6.
